They don't call it oPRESSion for nothing.

Jim Rutenberg quotes Jay Rosen in an effort to scare people that blogs are a threat to free speech and "professionalism" in the press. Unbelievable.

Basically, it's a warning that we, the people, are too ignorant to understand the world and see through the lies and blandishments of politicians without the lies and blandishment of Journalism. It's an argument that we need the regulation of J-schools over our "free" press.
